The Estonian flag as it is known today was envisioned during the national awakening movement in the late nineteenth century. It became a symbol of autonomy and unity among the Estonian people on the long road to freedom. The three colours in the flag of Estonia symbolise different natural aspects of the country. Blue is for the country’s sea, lakes, and sky. Black represents the soil and the dark forests of the country, and also past hard times. White symbolises the country’s snow and the bark of its many birch trees. It also stands for purity and the country’s fight for freedom.
